RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!
-Evangelion is better than Michael Jackson?!
-A Polish-Style Ero-Manga Scandal?
-And Thunder-Thunder-THUNDER! THUNDERCATS, HO!!
All that, and the May 2010 Best In Tune Special, OMEGA!!! in this week's Friday ACE!
SHOW NOTES:
Mike here. And wow, without thinking about it, I made this episode chock-full of references! The short version: This installment of Friday ACE contains nods to Ashes to Ashes, Black Dynamite, last month's penultimate 5 In Tune segment, and the dreaded Akihabara video with McG and Kirsten Dunst (I'd link it but it's hard to find these days. Google is your friend). There are probably some others that I overlooked—if you notice them, shoot me an email and I'll add it to the list!
Two weeks of being late... here's hoping I'll have two spectacular ones as atonement. In the meantime, make sure you grab the newest issue of OUSA! Click the Content Rundown on the right to check out what's in store for you this month!
Until the next, call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me... and by that I mean drop me a line at fridayace.ousa@gmail.com, spread the word, and take care!
-Mike Dent
PS: Seriously, congrats to Kaela Kimura on the impending marriage (sorry for botching the months—you're FIVE month's pregnant, not three) and thanks to Kara for filling in at the last second!
